Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 5, 1905.

Application filed August 23, 1905. Serial No. 275,347.

1'0 all whom it mag concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES A. TATUM, a citizen of the United States, residin' in the city, county, and State of New Yor have invented a new and useful Improvement in Fountain-Syringes, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a fountain-syringe,

the reservoir portion of which is so constructed that it may be opened to receive the tube, nozzles, and other accessories of a syringe and may then be closed so as to retain the same. The syrin e thus forms its own .package, making it o especial convenience for travelers.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure I is a front view, partly broken away; of my syringe-reservoir closed and containing the tube and spray-nozzles. Fig. II is a portionof the reservoir shown open 1n side view.

A is the syringe-reservoir, made of rubber when the syringe is The operation of my, device is as follows: The'reservoir is opened by pressing apart the U-frames B, the contents are removed, and one end of the rubber tube G is slipped over the nipple F and the other end over the nipple portion of one of the spray-pieces. 'Water or other liquid is then introduced into the reservoirthrough the opening between the U-frames. After use the rubber tube G is removed from 'the nipple F and, together with the various spray-pieces and other accessories, placed into the reservoir, the latter .having first been opened by spreading apart the two. U-frames. When the contents are in their proper place, the reservoir is closed by uniting the U-frames and the ball-clasps.

I claim as my invention- 1. In a fountain-syringe, a reservoir provided with ani ple at one end, and with hinged U-frames at t e opposite end, and means forretaining the latter in a closed position. I

2. In. a fountain-syringe, a reservoir provided with a nipple at one end, and with two locking-frames hinged together, at the oppositeend, and means for retaining said frames ina closed position.

Intestimony whereof I have hereunto set myhand, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses, this 21st day of August, 1905.

CHARLES A. 'IATUM.
